Roasted Red Pepper & Smoked Paprika Hummus

In 2010 my eldest daughter Chloe won a ‘MasterChef’ competition at her High School. The competition was judged by celebrity chef and BBC Master Chef presenter, Marcus Wareing. She made a Moroccan vegetable and chickpea tagine for her main course. This hummus was her starter.
